Claims concrete numbers: 46% of open source projects fail in year one and 31% of web projects cancel before launch, firms lose $50–150B annually on failed web work. Advice names tools and practices: Drupal WordPress React repo management, use code sniffers and robust CI pipelines, Slack Zoom and solid local Linux or Mac development setups. Hiring metrics and outcomes matter: expect high turnover, short tenures, frequent burnout, and shops handling 85–100 clients and ~150 projects a year.
